Transport - Bus (2 Viewers)

[madharris]

Hey I went to the UNSW open day and I loved it. I put it back to first in my UAC options.

However, I'm just wondering how bad are the buses from central to the university?
i.e. how crowded are they going to and from the uni (at anytime of the day)?

You get long lines before 9am at the beginning of semester 1 because all the first years think you have to go to uni 9am everyday like school.

But if you take those times out the bus is usually there when you arrive or there is like a 1 or 2 minute wait.

This.

You will also be able to identify the freshman women from the high heels, flashy clothes and makeup they are wearing.

i dont understand why everyone joins that humongous line for the 891 every morning. when the 393/395 will get you to uni as well (they just take 5-10 minutes more to reach) and they dont have a massive line.

 

[madharris]

ok thanks guys

If I decide to go to UNSW my travel plan would probably be like this:
Bus to Town Hall > Walk to Hermes/ David Jones > bus that goes past anzac parade.

Still will take me 1.5-2 hours, and that's way too long imo.

They drop you off at the foot of the main walkway, and if you have a class at Biomedical - you'll spend another 15 minutes walking up all the steps.

Alternatively, take an 891 and get off near the Medical Centre.


Plus, there's a social aspect in meeting up with friends and chatting to them on the bus.

Do you have to pay or is the bus free?

 

[Shadowdude]

Well, yeah. Just get a MyMulti and pay for your bus and train to uni. And for any other outing you want to take throughout the week.

Like the MyMulti that expired today covered me for five days of uni, a late night train ride home on Friday after Law Revue, train rides to the city and back on Saturday for Open Day and a friend's birthday... plus other bus rides that were required, etc. etc.

Pretty good for $30.

The bus is prepay. Not free. Thus you'll need a mybus or a mymulti to travel on the buses.

Yes, have to pay.

I am entering as an international student so I don't know much. I am planning to live in Surry Hills. So how do I get to UNSW from Surry Hills by bus? Like which bus do I take, which ticket do I buy? 'Cause I believe you guys have MyBus1, 2 and 3. Let me know. Thank you!

 

[figsan]

Oh and where do I ride the bus and where do I take off? Is there a bus stop right outside UNSW?

I was going to post the exact same thing. So this. You will need a "MyMulti 2" bus ticket (purchase from any newsagent etc).

 

[figsan]

Haha. Thank you guys!

What is the difference between the MyMulti and MyBus?

 

[OzKo]

MyBus gives you 10 trips on a single ticket.
MyMulti gives you unlimited travel on bus, train and ferry for a week.

 

[figsan]

I see. Thank you for that!

So, based on what I see on the site, I am supposed to ride the M50 bus at Cleveland St to go to UNSW? Is that right? But I don't know which bus stop I should get off to. Is it called "UNSW Station"?

 

[figsan]

And would it still work if I use a MyBus2 ticket instead of a MyMulti?

I see. Thank you for that!

Yes, M50 will get you to UNSW. The M50 will go up High Street (where the 891 also goes up). There are 3 stops - the first stop is near the front of the uni around Law and ASB, the second stop is near the library, and the third stop is near the biomedical and Clancy auditorium.

And would it still work if I use a MyBus2 ticket instead of a MyMulti?

Yes, MyBus2 will work.
